Despite her flaws, she would be better than Humala. I know he has tried to soften his image by surrounding himself with Lulaites but his platform is puro chavista. Under him, Peru would join Chavez kiss up society (ALBA) and adopt a reflexively anti-American foreign policy and hyperpopulist domestic policy.<br /><br />I also notice, based on the results so far, Humala underperformed the exit poll results and his 2006 first round percentage. Much does depend on the what the losers do. I thought Toledo was okay but he has a choice, does he go for spite (against Fujimori) or against destructive policies (against Humala)?ConsDemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312125878554292999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-28382883903182817652011-04-11T02:58:06.238+02:002011-04-11T02:58:06.238+02:00anonymous

Only 3 kinds of people enter politics:<br /><br />1- Those who want to take home a juicy paycheck from their job without having to do any actual working.<br /><br />2- The egomaniacal narcissists who want power for the sake of power and/or to avenge the wrongs committed against them.<br /><br />3- The deluded dreamers who believe they can make the word a better place, which almost invariably involves getting everyone to hold hands and sing "kumbaya" or some other retarded pseudo-hippie method that betrays their absolute disconnection with reality.<br /><br />Or, in the case of Venezuela, you get all those in the same guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-2486011802350752322011-04-11T01:21:51.750+02:002011-04-11T01:21:51.750+02:00Worse case scenario is the understatement of the y...Worse case scenario is the understatement of the year! There's still a slim chance PPK is the second runner up... that's what everyone is praying for... Why oh why? Because our countries still live in ignorance, Chavez's petrol money is given freely, and people do exchange a vote for lolipops! Terrible! Count on Keiko being the next president. Vargas Llosa said that if both went to ballotage it will be a choice between terminal cancer and Aids. Well, Aids doesn't kill nowadays as before, while terminal cancer (Humala) does. What a terrible choice! #prayforperu is a Trending Topic in Twitter!!!!Milonganoreply@blogger.com
